Half Full or Half Empty

The Bear could not avoid hearing about Pope Francis liquifying half of St. Januarius' blood. He assumes it happened as reported. What does that mean?

The Bear has a pretty good idea what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean the smoking light is on over the adultery shack. It doesn't mean sodomy is suddenly swell. It doesn't mean we're just one, big, happy, ecumenical, Christian family.

The Bear is not being flippant. It probably means something, but the Bear supposes it depends on whether you are are half-full or half-empty when it comes to Francis. The reality is, we have no idea. We should always look at the fruits of the tree, as Jesus taught.
